The question of carnival ball was
provocative of great deal of discus
sion. but conclusion was not reached
and it was laid over until the next meet
ing.
THE EXCURSION QUESTION.
Concerning the request of the st.
George SnOWshOe club, that the aSsO-
citation should pay the railroad fare of
100 of its members, in full uniform to
90 through the East and Southwest to
boom the carnival, there was diversity
of feeling among the directors.
Objection was made that owing to the
interstate commerce law it would be im-
possible to secure a reduction of rates OF
TRANSFORMATION. and although the mem-
bers of the club were willing to pay their
other travelling expenses, the association
decided against the application for the
reason that they were not able to incur
the expense of car fare.
A communication was received from
the Columbia club as to what guarantee
would be given the Toque Blues, go in
number, from Montreal. who desired to
participate in the st. Paul carnival, If
there were to be arrangements made for
the accommodation of visiting organiza-
tiOnS This matter was likewise post
polfed for future consideration.
Reports from the various committees
were submitted, showing that gratifying
progress was being made, especially in
the5matter of subscriptions, and the
building committee reported that the
work of constructing the ice palace had
already begun.
j. j. McCardy was elected auditor of
the association, after which an ADJOURN
ment, subject to call by the presi-
dent, was agreed upon.
